12oz four pack , Christmas gift (she didn't know it was gluten-free). Very pale golden pour, fizzy head leaves small islands of fine bubbles, ring, lacing. Very light citrusy aroma. Taste is weak lemonade, bready, abrupt finish. Body seems appropriate. Not as bad as I was expecting.

Bomber, 2021 vintage. Chocolate aroma with notes of roasted malt, licorice, molasses, vanilla, oak and whiskey. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has little retention and lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, chocolate, licorice and oak flavors as well as having a medium body and smooth mouthfeel. Finishes smooth with molasses, vanilla and whiskey flavors. Decent, but lacks the richness expected of an imperial stout.

For gluten free, this slaps. Slightly peaty and roasted
Doesn’t taste gluten free!

Can at the house in Jackson - picked up from the local Whole Foods. Pours clear copper-gold with a foamy, off-white head. Light to medium sweet flavour with notes of oily pine, bitter orange peel, lightly toasted malts. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent balance to finish, lightly resinous, malty, a bit of caramel and ripening citrus. Nothing shouts gluten free to me here. Just a rather drinkable, old-school IPA. Frankly I think some of the ratings here are rather harsh and that Fat Randy deserves better!

12 oz can, found at the back of my daughters fridge in Laguna Hills: Canned on 24th March 2022, so not too young when I drank it on 8th July 2023. Poured into a US pint sleeve (Temecula Football Club badged). 100% Gluten Free; millet and buckwheat in the brew according to the labelling. Clean amber body, wispy white head. Piney hop like aroma and taste, pretty bitter throughout. Pity it wasn't fresh, as I quite enjoyed it, even though it was obviously a little aged.

Aromas are citrus hops and a dirty house. Flavors are better with hops coming through more, on the sweet side, with a little bitter in the finish and good carbonation. Something else odd in there that i can't place and don't like.

Aromas are old hops and caramel malt. Flavors are sweet up front with a bittersweet end. Good carbonation but some other weird qualities in there that I can't place and don't want to. Drain pour. I'm going to try and never buy a gluten free beer again.

Aromas are malty sweet. Flavors likewise but with something off. Likely due to gluten free. Wish I would've noticed it being gluten free before buying. I want my glutens!
